Synthetic wax
A product of paraffin, containing rubber, with the same property as paraplast.
Harder than paraffin; not soluble in water.
Soluble and miscible with water; suitable for many enzyme histochemical studies.
Very slow (days to weeks)
Rarely used impregnating media.
Done after wax impregnation.
Process by which the tissue is arranged in a precise positions in the mold.
Placing the tissue in a mold containing the medium.
Embedding media/method used extensively for light microscopy.
Reduces antigenicity, toxic and damage tissue.
Embedding media/method that is not often used.
Preferred for processing of whole eye sections.
Recommended for bones, teeth, large brain sections, and whole organs.
Another form of celloidin soluble in equal conc of ether and alcohol.
Forms a harder tissue block and makes cutting of thinner sections possible.
